Shocked

I think my brain is stunned...it refuses to function properly. I find that I am unable to string words together to tell you the story of the death of my sweet Danny. He is not here and yet I see him every time I turn my head or see a pickup drive in the driveway. I am fine one minute and then something throws me into sadness. Brendan and I had a visit on the porch swing this morning, about why Grandpa wasn't here to take him riding on the tractor. I told him Jesus needed Grandpa to come help him do some work now and that he still loved us but we wouldn't see him anymore. He looked at me for a bit and then showed me his little green flying car. It made no sense to him. It makes no sense to me either.....

Sending love your way, Debra. I can't even begin to imagine the shock you must be feeling. I try to put myself in your place, and my mind refuses to think of such a scenario. We are all missing Danny; at the same time, we all want to be here for you......Geri

What I am trying to do here.

Stories of life lived on the mixed grass prairie in Northwest Oklahoma, the lessons gleaned from creation and news of family and friends. There may be poems, if you're lucky. Sometimes I can be a bit preachy, not always, but if I feel it necessary.
